Abstract

 Home health care is a hot research field in the 21 century. It can reduce the risky and critical cases that may happen to elder and disabled patients. It also improves life quality of patients in their familiar environment. On the other hand, home health care will reduce the medical expense. With the help of the sophisticated communication techniques, widespread applied computers and microcomputers, and micro electro-mechanical systems, as sensing elements and actuators, home health care network has become a reality. Many researches went for excellent applicable results that are used nowadays in any hospitals. These hospitals are equipped with what is called "hospital monitoring centre", which receives a 24 hours precise measured data from the patients at their home directly. In this paper, a modified Smart Pill (SP) and a finger ring are used to complete health care controlling systems. The complete system is very important in situation when the patients are in an uncontrolled state. The block-diagram of the already existing health care system and the block-diagram of the modified health care system will be shown. Patients and elder people swallow these pills everyday and live normally. In case of emergency when they are disables, doctors in the hospital or centers while monitoring them can sent a coded signal that is received by the pill to release the precise amount of required medicine for the case. This step saves the time up to 30 minutes (according to European Standards) of sending the care ambulatory team to the patient location.
